COFFEE-MAklNG.

The making of coffee is the one branch
Of the culinary art about which every
body knows something. Good House
keeping has published from time to time
dissertations upon this important subject
of coffee-making, and here are some of
them:
Miss Parloa says: Put one cupful o t
fine ground coffee in small saucepan
and on the fire. Stir constantly until
hot. Put the hot coffee in the filter of a
coffee-biggin. Place the coarse strainer
on top, and then add half cupful of
cold water, pouring it in by tablespoon
fuls. Cover it and let it stand for half
an hour, though less time will do. Next
three cupfuls and half of cold water,
cupful at time. When all the water
has passed through the filter, pour it
from the pot, and again through the IL
ter. Cover closely; and at serving time
heat it to the boiling point and serve at
once.
Mrs. Helen Campbell tells of drinking
coffee made by Mexican cracker" who
roasted the grains, ground them, poured
boiling water on them and presently
added boiling milk. Cream and coffee
are often indigestible, says Mrs. Camp
bell, boiled milk and coffee, almost never.
The union prevents excess of coffee, and,
if both come to the table as near the
boiling point as possible you have the
perfect drink. Only remember that the
coffee must be one-third Mocha to two
thirds Java, and, if you will roast more
than enough for once, keep closly COW
cred and heat before grinding.
Juliet Corson says of breakfast coffee :
The best and most economical coffee is
made as follows: A small bag of I'M
bleached cloth is so arranged as to re-
main suspended about midway of the
coffee pot. The coffee, freshly roasted or
heated in frying-pan as described above,
and then ground to a fine powder, is put
into the bag, an ounce being allowed for
each quart of coffee; actually boiling
water is then poured upon the coffee and
it is allowed to stand for ten minutes
where it will keep hot without boiling,
and then used with boiling hot milk and
sugar. OF course the coffee pot must be
of such size that the bag Of coffee will
be entirely covered with the boiling
water.
Catherine Owens formula is this
"Allow, for strong breakfast coffee, one
tablespoonful of Underground coffee for
each person, and half a pint of boiling
water to each spoonful. Put the coffee
into the strainer, and set it where it will
get heated, but not burn (the flavor of
both coffee and tea are improved by be-
ing warmed before the water is added).
Pour the freshly boiled water on the
coffee ten minutes before breakfast"
Mrs. Owen adds a number of wise eau
tons about the care of the coffee pot, and
concluded with this sentence, which is
recommended to all amateurs Of coffee
making: SIN drying the coffee pot or
warming it, be careful not to let it get
too hot, or there will be the flavor of
burnt coffee to spoil the beverage for that
occasion.

selected the grand, as in 1.-THE Crusades
before Jerusalem" by William Kaulbach-
an impressive, almost awe inspiring picture.
The Christian warriors are represented as
marching over the hills, Jerusalem in the
distance, when they are suddenly arrested by
an apparition in the heavens of Christ and
the Virgin Mary. Godfrey de Bouillon turns
worshipful gaze toward tho vision and
reverentially removes the crown from his
head, while on the faces Of all those in front
appear amazement and awe, depicted in the
most perfect tones. 1.-THE Last Token" by
Max Gabriel, is another painting to excite
awe, mingled with religious sympathy. A
Christian maiden and martyr stands in the
stone dungeon, calm eyed and fearless before
the tigers which are 10 devour her. The
"Holy Family" by Knaus, is in the same
class, but time has lessened the delicacy of
some Of the colors, though the dignity and
much Of the sweetness remain. All the critics
agree that no recent painter can rival the old
masters in dealing with religious subjects; It
seems as If they put their very souls into the
work and painted with their hearts blood
The modern "Madonnas" are almost purely
conventional The Virgin is pretty German
woman In Germany, an English girl in Eng
land and an American here; nowhere is she
depicted as she was, a Jewess None Of Miss
Wolfes paintings have hitherto been exit
bited, except to q small circle of friends She
was indeed one Of the benefactors of human
ity, and with her gift the museum becomes
one OF New Yorks greatest attractions

In the negotiations made some years
ago by the English government for a loan
OF $50, 100000 the successful contractors

was for the sum of $4,000 900. This

CATHERINE WOLFE'S REQUEST TO

alive, the carcasses when dressed were
81 per cent heavier, the large muscle of
the back GA per cent heavier, the tender
loin muscles 3S per cent heavier, and the
blood So per cent heavier. OF all the
meat that could be cut from the carcasses
of lot only 80 per cent was fat, while
the fat from lot b was 46 per cent. The
professor has demonstrated that, by
judicious system of feeding, hogs can be
made to contain larger proportion of
lean meat aud weigh more in the same per-
iod of time than hogs fed exclusively for
fat, but he fails to give the proportionate
cost of the food, which is the most impor-
tant item. The question with farmers is
whether lean-meated hog can be pro-
duced with as little cost as one containing
more fat and of the same weight. Dried
blood cannot be easily obtained on some
farms at low cost, and corn being a
staple product, will be given the prefer
ence. The experiments, however, are
some of the most valuable ever conducted
and will at some future time work revo-
luton in the present system of swine
feeding.

AN EXCELLENT TOBACCO CROP.

The Danville ,Ta6acco Journal
says: The 1887 tobacco crop is go
ing to be a short one, but the 1887
tobacco crop is going to be good
one, so far as quality is concerned.
From all directions, both in Virgin
la and North Carolina, we hear that
the crop is excellent. Farmers did
not put out more plants than they
could attend to this year, and they
have attended to them as they
should. Each farmer has done his
beet to make fine crop of tobacco,
and Providence has assisted them
The seasons have been splendid
Hot weather, dry weather, wet
weather, cool weather-all mixed
up in such way as to make tobacco
move right on. Now if the farmers
will only cut it in good time, and
cure it in a good way, which we
feel confident they will do, we may
look out for one of the finest small
crops of tobacco that has ever been
produced in this country.

We again express the desire OF

of those living North fit, for much
needed as!welI as desirable improves
ments. The street needs widening.
1t is nothing but a lane, yet it is
filed from end to end with good
dwellings, all of which are occupied
by those having equal interest and
claims with other taxpayers. All
Of these, with possibly one excep>
ton are ready and anxious to sur
render such of their land as may be
condemned to the use of widening.
The street needs grading. The
hill in ascent to Chestnut street is
in its original steepness, yet this
street is the most direct and con-
venient route to Clayton, Chestnut

ing thickly populated.
We ask the city authorities tc

placed before them, favorable con-
